Sektori is one of the best games I’ve played all year. Design perfection, a fantastic soundtrack, it’s almost impossible for me to put down. I need every sicko reading this to play it. For @aftermath.site aftermath.site/sektori-shoo...

Okay, it's been a week since release. Reception has been AWESOME, much much more than I expected for such a niche thing! Thank you! ❤️ A few thoughts (thread).

Last night I played Civ 6 until 3am, and I didn't want to repeat that mistake, so I decided to play a game with shorter sessions.
I then played Sektori until 3.05am

Do you find yourself exhausted by having to create titles, puns, and names for things in your games?

The penultimate cutscene in Dog's Life (PS2, 2003) features some cat photos. I can now exclusively reveal that I'm the one who put those photos in the game, and these were the cats: www.flickr.com/photos/argan...
Kittens - 2001
Back in 2001, the people I lived with bought some kittens. I used to hang out with them a lot.

Sektori is even better than I first realised. I think it's going to be talked about for years.

I remain genuinely gobsmacked that this wasn’t picked up more. The Alex Jones who *repeatedly accused grieving parents of making up their children’s murders*.
Anyway, “after the news we’ll be joined by Nigel Farage & definitely won’t be asking him about any of this…”

On US TV shows and podcasts from 2009-18, Farage discussed supposed plots by bankers to create a global government, citing Goldman Sachs, the Bilderberg group and George Soros as threats to democracy. Included six guest slots with the disgraced far-right US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

I have a fun hypothetical for the technical among us! (For certain values of fun, heh.) The scenario: You run a website. It doesn't have a mobile app: the only way to access it is in-browser. You are deeply, morally opposed to any form of invasive tracking or data-gathering on your users.

it's a bummer how hard it is to get attention right now and how tight folks have to be with fun money because Sektori absolutely deserves to be over 100 Steam reviews by now.
Give it a look if you like Super Stardust, Resogun, and Geometry Wars.

I mean it's not complicated. Twenty people who were there have confirmed that Nigel Farage said all of these things.
He's the only one denying it, which means just one thing. He is a liar

Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
Reform UK’s leader refuses to answer questions about his abusive behaviour, claiming there’s ‘no evidence’. We talk to victims and witnesses

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
